In Orwells book 'Newspeak' is a controlled language designed to limit the individual person's ability to think critically or to articulate subversive concepts, such as personal identity, self-expression, and free will.
I do not think that language operations happen of their own. I see corporate messing with language. I see BlackRock enforcing diversity and other things. I see corporate ideological parades to show that they are with the common folk. In reality they are brainwashing people.
I do not see language change organically. I see organizations prohibiting certain words, suggesting certain words. All in the name of "X".
It all reminds me of religion. Reminds me of computer logic. If you say "X" you are a good person. If you do not say "X" you are a bad person. Language is a powerful thing. I feel as if one tampered with it.
